SOLDIERS AND NEWSPAPERS.
The Biggest Circulation Per Copy
Ever Attained by a journal.

eve have grown so accustomed to
newspapers, said an old soldier, ''that
those OF us living in cities fail to appre-
ciate how necessary they are to our
comfort and cOntentment of mind.
Now, was in the Confederate army,
and during our long campaigns in the
South we rarely heard from home.
A newSpaper-and we saw few of
them-was as welcome as a square
meal to a starving man. At the
battle of Chickamauga detachment
of Federals were posted behind Lee &
GordOn's mills, on the banks of the
Chickamauga river, opposite us. Our
division was ordered 10 charge them.
We plunged into the water and started
for the enemy. The Yankees, however,
caught US in shrewd trap. They cut
down the dam just as we were in the
middle of the stream, and torrent of
water came down upon US. 1t came up
to our waists and nearly swept us off
Dur feet. We had to hold our guns

above our heads in order to keep them
dry, and you know that wading through
deep water is slow work. The
enemy, in the meantime, were firing
upon us. but we managed to plunge
through the water and reach the bank.
Just as l climbed up l saw lying upon
the ground copy of the Louisville
journal. 1t was only two days old and
entirely unsoiled. stopped down in
the middle of the charge, under the hot
test kind of a fire, and folding up that
paper put it in my pocket. We drove
the Yankees out of the mills, and, after
the battle was over, sat down and read
the paper, advertisements and all, with
the most intense pleasure. 1t passed
from one soldier to another, and they
read it until it was so badly worn that
the letters could no longer be de-
ciphered.

Too Many to Suit.

Boston Gazette.
Occasionally the servant has really
reason to find fault. A man appeared at
an intelligence Office the other day and
engaged a girl for general hOusewOrk.
Have you any children?" asked the
maid before she closed the bargain
"Only few he replied; and she took
this TO mean two or three. She arrived
at the house Just at breakfast time the
next morning and was surprised to see
nine little ones filing into the dining
room. Are there any more?" she
gasped. "Well, yes" answered the
proud father, ''there are the twins, who
cannot walk yet, and the baby" The
girl did not stop to unpack her trunk.

1t is a rather odd notion that ''AdoniS''
Dixey has of wearing a ring OH the
thumb of his right hand. This circle of
gold is very heavy and set with a
sapphire and ruby. 1t must therefore be
extremely inconvenient, but is worn as
token of friendship. Rumor has it
that a similar ring is worn by Boston
banker, with whom DiXey exchanged.

ILLUMINATED RELICS.
A Tradition Which Explains the
Great Number of BuddhistiC

Relics. .t-t
Shang-le or the precious relics of Bud
dab are so abundant that only a miracle
could explain their number. DR.. Med
hurst throws some light on their his
tory. According to the Buddhists,
there are $4,000 pores in mans body,
and therefore he leaves behind him
$4,000 particles of miserable dust i'll
the course of transmigratiOn. Buddah
had also $4,000 pores in his body, but by
his resistance to evil he was enabled to
perfect $1,000 relics through them, for
which eight kings contended. A good
and wise king named Ayuka arose, who
built $1,000 pagOdas to cover the $1,000
relics. These relics still remain, but
can only be seen by the faithful. A
good Buddhist can sometimes discover
one of these relics illuminated with brill
liant cOlOrs and as big as cart wheel,
when unbelievers are unable to see any
thing at all.

SHOT ON HIS DOORSTEP.
A TERRIBLE HOMICIDE IN CRAw-
FORD COUNTY.

Neighbors Have Words Regarding In
truding Hogs and the Ever Ready
Shotgun is Used With Fatal Effect
No Verdict Yet in the Moore Lynch
ing Case.
MACON, GA, June S.-Meagre details OF
most unfortunate homicide in Crawford
county reached the city to-day. Owing to
the distance from the city the account is
necessarily imperfect. From the most re-
liable information obtainable it seems that
the affair really grew out of an old feud be-
tween two families, who are among the
best known and most highly re-
spected in Crawford county. Yesterday
afternoon John C, Hancock discovered Bur
nett's hogs in his field and told Burnett to
remove them, at the same time going into
his house and returning with his shotgun,
saying that unless they were removed he
would shoot the hogs. Words passed be-
tween Jack Burnett and his son, Jerome,
on the one hand, and Mr.. Hancock
on the other They were standing
about sixty yards apart, and Hancock $50
the report says) opened fire on the Burnetts,
few shols striking the younger Burnett,
wherenpon he discharged both barrels of his
Dreecn-loadillg gun at hancock, riddling
him with bullets and killing him almost in
stantly. Jerome Burnett is a lad 10 years
old, and Hancock's age is between so and 90.

everybody made the effort Of his

pronounced the finest legal effort ever
delivered in the court room. The Judges

acts authorizing the President to maintain a
quarantine at all points of danger, the Pres
ident has determined to establish, by means
of the vessels of the revenue service, a

der the existing laws and consistent with

fined to that service. The circular contains

sailed, and, secondly, as TO the health of
those on board at the time of their de
parture, during the passage and at the time
of the hailing, aud should the information
gained indicate a condition Of contagion or
infection In the vessel or crew, or that the
vessel has left port at which contagious or
infectious diseases were prevailing, her
master will be directed TO proceed for. exam
ination to the outer quarantine station pro-
vided for her port of destination.

ing Town.
TOWNSVILLE, GA, June s.-The season
just passed has been the most successful
Thomasville has ever known. Her hotels
and boarding houses were all crowded to
their utmost capacity, and this would have
been true If there had been double the means
of accommodation. The effect of this crowd
coming yearly, and consisting as II does
mostly of very wealthy people, is of no
small benefit 60 Thomasville In the first
place, about 100000 of Northern money
has been invested in real estate in and
around this city since Jan. l. Only few
days ago real estate agent received a check
for $500 from New York millionaire to
pay for a small improved city lot
in the business portion of Broad street. This
same nabob while here in the winter paid
$1,000 for a farm four miles in the country
and is now having erected thereon $40, 900
dwelling. This is but one instance out OF
many. The demand by Northern capital
lists for Townsville real estate of course
stiffens our citizens in their confidence in its
value, and there is at present going on
regular boom in real estate. The spirit of
Improvement seems to have struck the
place, and all of our citizens have their
shoulders to the wheel, working for the fu-
ture prosperity of the South Georgia me
tropolis.
Mr.. S. L. Hayes, well-known capital
ist and financier, will next month open a

to enlarge his operations He has purchased
building in the business centre of Broad
street and is having il handsomely fitted up
inside. When completed il will be one Of
the fastest and most conveniently arranged
bank buildings in the State. Our mer-
chants and business men generally have
subscribed very literally to the stock, and
the new bank will open under slSillful man
agement and with abundant capital. Mr..

WASHINGTON BY WIRE.
Dismissal of the Only Colored Man in
the Signal Service.

GnS Signal Service.
WASHINGTON, June S.-W. H. Green, the
only colored man ever admitted to the sig
nal service, has been dismissed from that
service without character. The only
significance in this order lies in the fact that
he is a colored man and is the man over
whom Gen. Hazen and Secretary of War
Lincoln had controversy Mr.: Green was
a graduate of New York college and was
highly recommended, and the Secretary
oveIruled Gen. Hazen's order. Green, soon
after the appointment, was assigned TO duty
at Pensacola. The Sergeant in charge Of
the signal Office there refused to accept
him as his assistant, and was
courtmartialed and reduced to private for
his diSobedience of orders. Green was then
give satisfaction either to the signal Office
nor to the community he served. He was
sent to Rochester, New York, where his
record has been very unsatisfactory, and it
is stated that had he been a white man his
connection with the signal service would
have been summarily cut short long time
before this; but they decided to give the
colored man every possible Indulgence,
which led to his retention until his own con-
duct neceSsitated his dismissal.
CAVALRY FOR VIRGINIA.

dan the Secretary of War has decided that

HOMELESS AND RUINED.
q Waterspout Causes Great Destruc-
ton in a Pennsylvania Town.


PITTsBURG, PA, June s.-A special from
JohnstowA, Pa, says the food yesterday
was caused by waterspout west of Hoov-
ersyille, Somerset county, village on the
line of the Somerset and Cambria railroad.
The village was entirely under water, and
the destruction of property is great. Many
thousand logs belonging to the Latrobe
Lumber Company passed here yesterday
Inc bridges above here were carried off
Inc keernville bridge was partly destroyed.
One at Coopersdale was entirely swept
away, as was one at Won Lumen's, near the
town.
The destruction of property is enormous,
but the amount cannot be ascertained now
AT HooverSville the work of the food is
appalling. Upward of twenty residences
were washed off their foundations and de-
posted on the ground. At least 100 families
IN this borough alone lost everything in the
lower story and cellars of their houses.
RUINED HOMES AND PROPERTY.
The water having subsided, the scene to-
day is one of decentralization and ruin. The
yards and streets are blocked with the debris
and rubbish, and houses are filed up with
water The merchants goods are filed
with sand, mud and water Lots of women
and children are standing about weeping
In Grubbtown, Conemaughborough Nor
riliville Minersville, Cambria City and
Coopersdale the same scene is presented, and
it is estimated that in the suburbs and in the
city 200 people We're temporarily rendered
homeless and dependent for shelter on the
charity of their more fortunate neighbors.
No estimate can be made of the damage at
present, but it is thought that it will reach
Sl5O, 900 in this vicinity alone.
No lives, so far as known, were lost.
SAD FEATURES OF THE DISASTER.
Mrs. D. j. Morrell, the widow of the Hon
D. j. Morrell, died from heart disease about
u o'clock last night, produced it is sup
